Illustrated by
Iacopo Bruno.
Max Starling is looking forward to his family's trip to India. On the day of embarkation, however, he arrives at the dock to find his parents gone and no record of their ship. Max vows to discover what happened while supporting himself as a problem-solver and missing-object-finder--a "solutioneer." Max is a thoughtful and low-key hero in this entertaining trilogy-starter.
